Not only are they poisonous, they are so spectacularly toxic that you have to boil them three times and always throw away the water to render them safe. Tasty, though.
At least in Sweden they have been reclassified from edible/delicious after preparation to poisonois, do not eat, because there is alway poison residue even after the preparation.
@@SortedFood If doable, I'd extend it to jars and tin cans. In lots of places there's interesting long shelf stuff that is sold only in jars, even if it's not fancy.
It’s really fun that Ben made pancakes when he got the peasoup. In Sweden thursdays are by tradition ”peasoup and pancake-day”. Our pancakes are served with whipped cream and jam tough.
Reminds me of a story about foreign guests that were treated to a typycal Thursday lunch. Peasoup and pancace, but they did what Ben did and mixed the pancaces with the pea soup, instead of eating the pancaces separately as intended.
Same here in the Netherlands. A thick peasoup (So thick your spoon stays up in the bowl) and pancakes after. However if it's as a treat we take the pancake add a chocolade spread and a ripe banana on it. roll the pancake up. place said pancake in foil and reheat it (preferably between charcoal) get it out and then serve said pancake with a dollop of whipped cream. the peasoup and pancake like that is something we really like to eat out door in the winter. preferably when you get off the ice.
The new and trendy thing is to have spinach pancakes/crepes (letut), mushroom lettu, carrot lettu, any kind of lettu you can think of, really. I was delighted that he accidentally hit on a real thing, at least here in Finland!
The pancakes Ben made, made me think of the German Fritatensuppe. Those are crepes with herbs inside the batter, then thinly sliced and eaten in a beef broth. So this combination did sound delicious
This, but give them all a completely free choice of tins, even knowing what's in them - but they have to choose the tin before they come into the studio and see what's being cooked (and without knowing anyone else's choices)
Canned pea soup is the first dish a kid learns to cook. You smack the thick soup blob in to a pan and measure ½ a tin of water in. Then you stir it until it boils. I made it many times when I got home from school :D Kalakukko in a tin is a novel take on traditional food Kalakukko, a rye bread with some bacon lard and vendace baked in it. It worked a lot like English meat pies. People working in the forest cutting lumber or working on the field would have a nice hearty meal out of it and it didn't go bad due the bread being so thick.
Aww that's a sweet memory. My first meal was cheese on toast, soon followed by tomato soup with bread and butter, then scrambled eggs on toast. My grandma had a fairly big kitchen compared to ours and I stayed with her every weekend and she used to let me cook whatever I wanted. I made up all sorts of concoctions while learning to cook. She was a good cook and a good baker herself but she only kept baking just long enough to teach me, after I got good enough not to need her help much she never baked a single thing again the entire rest of her life lol. I loved cooking for her.
I have been watching you guys for years and really happy to see people making a video with finnish produce. Quite the rare moment for us Finns to see people showcase and talk about our cusine😁
3:40 "Doing something confidently and blagging your way through it as if you do have a plan" he says as he chops without looking. Love watching the chefs show off their cheffy skills. 😄
11:50 as the challenge is ending you see James doing a last second touchup looking super serious, but as he steps away he looks back at it, smiles, and nods his head like he's completely happy with it and proud of what he's done. That's the sort of look people fall in love with.
Was laughing at Ben being surprised that the pea soup was really thick. Yup, that's why we use the euphemism "It's a real pea souper out there today" when the fog/mist/cloud is really thick. So saying I liked the sound of Ben's dish. Dill crepes, reindeer & lovely rich Finnish pea soup would be lovely.
I have worked for 30 + years around the USA as a classical trained chef (went to school in Paris at a named college) and what you guys are doing is my favorite way to cook. I worked for a restaurant in Sacramento California that the owners demanded things were fresh and different each day. I never knew what they had picked up at the fish, meat and vegetable markets everyday until I got there in the morning. It was always a surprise and sometimes a shock. The first week was pure hell after that I settled in and got my head together. AND I LOVED IT! Of course we had our standard menu every day but there was always the Chef Special which was what they would bring into me. When I moved from California to Florida I went to work at DISNEYS GRAND FLORIDAN and I loved it because 5 days a week all I did was the Chefs Choice Table in the kitchen. I love challenges and today challenge was killer. Sadly I have to live vicariously through folks like you due to an accident 7 years ago when I lost use of my right arm (which would seem strange since I am left handed, but people do not realize you don't just use your round thing above your shoulders but also need both hands) Thanks for this video it was a blast especially the reindeer. I have had the pleasure of using it in Canada
Oh wow! Thanks so much for your comment, it sounds like you've had a fascinating and varied career! We're so sorry to hear about you accident also. Sending lots of love from the whole team at Sorted Food :)
Yay for this from Finland! The pea soup is a concentrate so you put a lot of water in to thin it out. It's an affordable meal you can store in room temp and you can pimp it with whatever you like. Mustard and ham is the traditional combo! I've never seen reindeer with tomato. It can be pretty expensive so you wouldn't want to mask the flavour. But fatty tinned meat in a tomato sauce does sound pretty good!
@@Mattheq why bother tinning the water when it's readily available everywhere. Finnish tap water is among the cleanest in world. Heck, you can drink some fresh water in Finland, and a lot more after boiling it first. Or melting snow. :p
Ben's pancakes actually resemble a Finnish dish called täytetyt letut. You fill in crepes (unsweetened) with meat sauce, roll them up, cover in cheese and bake in the oven. My grandmother used to make them often :)
I think you are a proud Fin, right ? Therefore, my I ask you a totally non Sorted Food related question ? I love travelling, and I have never been to Finland. I am thinking about going there next year in the winter. I would like to spend 3 nights in Helsinki (or do I need more time there ?), than take the artic sleeper train to Rovaniemi and spend 3-5 days in Finish Lappland. And I would like to do this in winter, with a lot of snow, and chances to see aurora borealis. Which month would be best for that ? Also, do you think that this is a good idea ? Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Beautiful James, all the guys, a very challenging set of ingredients, awesome dishes and no interaction with the live audience (if they were there). This was perfect, thank you!
I totally agree about the advent calendar videos. This year, I have a "double calendar": the videos and a spice calendar which was gifted to me, and was reviewed a few years ago by Sorted (from Just Spice, with a spice mixture and a recipe on an app per day).
@@SortedFood pea soup is pea soup, I would never eat it as anything else, but it was a great use here, the salty crepe idea is fun! And aniseed and juniper would definitely go well with reindeer even if theyre not the most typical flavours. (Usually salt, pepper, lingonberry.) :) The particular tinned reindeer is something ive sauteed on a pan with some onion and carrot myself to get a bit of texture back in and then just eaten with mash, it really isn't the best and most gamey type out there - would be a quiche type pie filling most often in my experience. The fish dish is really inventive though and the combination of the mushrooms with perch really lucked out! It doesn't feel like it came out of a tin. I could see that in a Finnish restaurant for sure. But little fishes with little bones really are the thing here 😂 so funny to see them mushed.
Why hello James! And everybody else, of course. ROFL when James was going "It's not a mousse, what is it?" I was tempted to go "No it's not moose it's reindeer," but of course it's Ben with the reindeer. Which I really must try one of these days. LOL that isn't pea soup, Ben, that's Pease Porridge! Which, to be fair, is what I end up with when I make it myself and I love it.
Depressing to read so many comments hating on Kush. As much as I miss James, I love what Kush has brought to the channel, both the chaos and the super informative masterclasses. He's an incredible teacher and I wish we saw more of him. The dream would be Sorted at full strength with all three chefs appearing regularly.
My benchmark for a great game of Tin Can Roulette is Kush, dealing with unexpected head meat and changing his dish every ninety seconds. This one didn't have the chaos, but I found I really enjoyed watching Ben and James quickly plan and execute their dishes. It was actually quite soothing to my over-frazzled December nerves. Loved the look and sound of both results, but James was the winner for me. Say what you like about the new studio (I know some don't like it - I think it's okay) but I don't think anyone could deny that it makes a really good background for James.
if it's like the Dutch version pea soup naturally is very very condensed. If done properly your spoon needs to be able to stand up in your bowl and not move. that thick. But it is so good the more when it is cold outside. ad a few slices of rye bread with butter and tick bacon. so good I am getting hungry for it.
Ben's dish reminds me of a Hungarian dish called hortobágyi palacsinta which is a meaty ragu/stew wrapped in pancakes and topped with the sauce from the stew, it's very delicious!
As a finnish lad who has watched your videos for as long as you’ve been making them this was awesome! Hearing you praising our most classic cheap meal (pea soup) was the best! Maybe some ancestors were turning in their graves when you added milk and cheese to it but it turned out looking pretty good! Happy finnish independence day to all my fellow watchers from finland!
@gamerbear84 yes one dimensional. James dish also looked prettier with different textures and layers with earthiness thrown in. Still wonder if soup really go with sauce
@@msfoodiediva Might also have been for making him like something he normally dislikes. He usually dislikes smoked fish and isn't a salad guy, so for him to enjoy it anyway is impressive! Especially when debating that against a meaty cheesy pancake dish.
As soon as Mike said they were going to the home of Father Christmas, I got excited for Finland, and did a little dance when I heard I was right! (me being half-Finnish). I think Jani was being quite nice sending those great ingredients. Great episode
The pancake thing ebbers did is really common in Brazil! Pancakes here are savory 99% of the time , and they are that just what ebbers did : really thin, rolled tight with usually meaty filling , and sometimes covered in sauce!
Guys just wanted to drop a comment letting you know your channel is a lot of good fun. I've just discovered you in the last couple of months and have been so pleasantly surprised by the content. 😂 Thanks chaps!
So exited for the live show! I found you guys recently and you have really inspired me to get into cooking and baking again, its actually really helped me become passionate about cooking and baking again. Your video a day is my advent countdown to christmas i have loved every episode! The best cooking show I have ever watched. Fantastic work guys and thank you for reigniting my passion.
As a Finn, I feel so represented! 😍 Filled savoury pancakes are actually a thing in Finland. Families sometimes might make a huge pile of those crepe-like pancakes for dessert and the leftovers could be filled next day with anything you want. But often maybe a spaghetti sauce type of mince mixture, not too dissimilar from what Ebbers made, rolled, placed in a dish and covered with grated cheese and baked until warm and cheese melted on top. So to me that brought childhood into my mind, just and Ebbers special version of something that's very familiar! ❤ Good job!
Pea soup and pancakes is a traditional Thursday meal in Sweden and Finland. But the pea soup would be main part of the meal, and the pancakes would be a dessert together with jam and maybe whipped cream.
Sorted are spoiling us...not only daily videos in Advent... but also the weekend event (I have my ticket!!!!) ...James is definitely the winner tonight...Ben produced the dish I would prefer to eat, but had a much easier set of tins to use;;;I was able to plan a meal around those tins myself - (I was thinking of a thick veggies soup with the peas and mushrooms as a base...and reindeer meatballs!) ... but James had 3 downright scary tins and made an amazing salad!!!!
Not only was it great to have James back, it was nice to actually be able to follow the judging without any distractions. That hasn't been the case in the last couple of these videos.
Ebbers' dish reminds me a lot of Hortobagy Palacsinta (a Hungarian dish with thin crepe-like pancakes stuffed with chicken paprikash that originates from the Hortobagy region of the country). It's delicious and ya'll should try it sometime.
Welcome back James! Both dishes were absolutely stunning. But I have to admit, Ben's actually makes me want to source those cans to to able to try that dish, it sounds amazing.
You guys should do a 5-minute mystery Mayhem tin can roulette challenge, where the chefs and/or normals are given a random tin can instead of a mystery ingredient every five minutes.
I love tin can roullette, it really pushes everyone, normal or chef. and I love Sorted Advent Season! Thank you for another entertaining holiday time :)
I would love for you guys to go deep into christmas traditions in different countries. I know Costa Rica (my hometown) loves tamales and specific desserts this time of the year!
Careful what you wish for, they have done some of traditional christmas dishes and the sorry excuse for "Finnish traditional christmas meal" had every commenting Finn rolling on floor laughing at it. :p One of those "technically correct" but so made so weird no one had seen such a way to do it...
As Mike said the chefs had 5 minutes remaining there was 5 minutes left of the video, no idea if that was intentional from the editor but if so, *chefs kiss*
Wish we could’ve seen the rest of the teams reactions to the cooked food, but I’m glad James got a win. Was nice to see him back! Job well done to both.
I love the tin can roulette because it challenges the chefs as well and it's fun to watch. I especially liked that you had tins you were not familiar with. Excellent video!
@@swissfoodie3542 Not in the slightest Finnish but very fun ideas there. I'm not a fan of the tinned pea soup for example but what Ebbers did with it probably improved it a fair whack.
@swissfoodie3542 The dishes were very interesting. I certainly wouldn't have done anything like their dishes myself, main reason being that I see a few of the ingredients as full-on dishes by themselves (or at least some form of them) and I'm not chef-ish in the slightest.
@@swissfoodie3542 I'd never put milk nor cheese in the pea soup. It sounds very, very wrong. My first idea would have been a creamy mushroom sauce with reindeer and some potatoes. I have no clue on what to do with pea soup or kalakukko except just serve them as pea soup and kalakukko :D.
@@swissfoodie3542 Different, but I wouldn't be surprised to see any of those on a restaurant menu! The most Finnish thing was how the actually quite nice and lovely dish of Ben's looked like a bunch of beige in a deep dish. 😸 That's very very Finnish, an assortment of beige looking things in a deep dish that turn out being delicious.
Nobody told him it was Christmas, cause every day James is back feels like a present.
I miss James on sorted
The look on Ebbers's face when Mike said they were poisonous until cooked was priceless 🤣 Great to see James again 😁 2:07
Too good huh 😂
*Ebbers'
So are potatoes, technically, though you'd probably have to eat a lot of spuds to get sick; iirc they're a member of the nightshade family.
Not only are they poisonous, they are so spectacularly toxic that you have to boil them three times and always throw away the water to render them safe.
Tasty, though.
At least in Sweden they have been reclassified from edible/delicious after preparation to poisonois, do not eat, because there is alway poison residue even after the preparation.
Regional/themed tin can roulette sounds like an interesting idea.
It definitely sounds like a series. And I’m sure fans from all over the world would send tins.
Definitely!
@@SortedFood What's the PO Box so I can send some Slovenian tins? 😂😂

This, but give them all a completely free choice of tins, even knowing what's in them - but they have to choose the tin before they come into the studio and see what's being cooked (and without knowing anyone else's choices)
Ooooo this would be fun!
Those are some interesting cans. This might be an interesting variation, choosing six cans from different countries to spice up the challenges.
Love this idea 👌
@@SortedFood I would like to add the caveat that the cans are from countries from different climates and maybe are considered comfort food for them
Ohhhh spinning the letter wheel to get a new country per can
@@SortedFood I send those cans and know you still got couple spare cans from Finland 😄

As soon as Mike said they were going to the home of Father Christmas, I got excited for Finland, and did a little dance when I heard I was right! (me being half-Finnish). I think Jani was being quite nice sending those great ingredients. Great episode
Always happy to see James back in the kitchen
Jamesssss!! Always happy to have him back!
I love y'all but it's always a pleasure to have our favorite sarcastic ginger back in the studio
This is easily one of my favorite formats and James is always a Christmas treat lol. Merry Christmas guys! Sending tinned love from the states! 👊🏻
The pancake thing ebbers did is really common in Brazil! Pancakes here are savory 99% of the time , and they are that just what ebbers did : really thin, rolled tight with usually meaty filling , and sometimes covered in sauce!
I see James.... I watch. (ok I watch anyways, the point is I like it when James shows up)
We all like it when James shows up 😀
Guys just wanted to drop a comment letting you know your channel is a lot of good fun. I've just discovered you in the last couple of months and have been so pleasantly surprised by the content. 😂 Thanks chaps!
The way you could give me all these tins and a detailed recipe and it wouldn’t come out anywhere near as good as these! Well done!
Yippee the ginger ninja is back. Love seeing James back
James is back again! Finally! And I'm so glad I saw that he will praticipate in the live show also! :D Great video as always
So exited for the live show! I found you guys recently and you have really inspired me to get into cooking and baking again, its actually really helped me become passionate about cooking and baking again. Your video a day is my advent countdown to christmas i have loved every episode! The best cooking show I have ever watched. Fantastic work guys and thank you for reigniting my passion.
As a Finn, I feel so represented! 😍
Filled savoury pancakes are actually a thing in Finland. Families sometimes might make a huge pile of those crepe-like pancakes for dessert and the leftovers could be filled next day with anything you want. But often maybe a spaghetti sauce type of mince mixture, not too dissimilar from what Ebbers made, rolled, placed in a dish and covered with grated cheese and baked until warm and cheese melted on top.
So to me that brought childhood into my mind, just and Ebbers special version of something that's very familiar! ❤ Good job!
A great video to celebrate the Finnish independence day with! 🇫🇮
Best day EVER!! Another JAMES video!!!!!!!
Pea soup and pancakes is a traditional Thursday meal in Sweden and Finland. But the pea soup would be main part of the meal, and the pancakes would be a dessert together with jam and maybe whipped cream.
Sorted are spoiling us...not only daily videos in Advent... but also the weekend event (I have my ticket!!!!) ...James is definitely the winner tonight...Ben produced the dish I would prefer to eat, but had a much easier set of tins to use;;;I was able to plan a meal around those tins myself - (I was thinking of a thick veggies soup with the peas and mushrooms as a base...and reindeer meatballs!) ... but James had 3 downright scary tins and made an amazing salad!!!!
I dont know whois Jani, but i truly madly deeply do thank him for this. 🎉
Not only was it great to have James back, it was nice to actually be able to follow the judging without any distractions. That hasn't been the case in the last couple of these videos.
To quote Doctor Who: „Do what I do: Hold on tight and pretend it‘s a plan!“
'hes a time lord!
' its just what hes called, it doesn't mean he knows what hes doing!
Lovely to see James again!
you guys spoil us :^> so excited for a video each day hehe
💛
You would love Hortobágyi palacsinta, very close to what Ebbers made
Ebbers' dish reminds me a lot of Hortobagy Palacsinta (a Hungarian dish with thin crepe-like pancakes stuffed with chicken paprikash that originates from the Hortobagy region of the country). It's delicious and ya'll should try it sometime.
Yay so happy to see James again 👨🍳🥰
Welcome back James!
Both dishes were absolutely stunning.
But I have to admit, Ben's actually makes me want to source those cans to to able to try that dish, it sounds amazing.
"Merry Christmas folks, today we're cooking Rudolph..."
Knowing it's James just from the plate selection is just 😘👌🏻
0:51 did he just say “laurel”?
sounded like yanny to me
No no I’m pretty sure it was laurel
Mike said Yanny
No
You guys should do a 5-minute mystery Mayhem tin can roulette challenge, where the chefs and/or normals are given a random tin can instead of a mystery ingredient every five minutes.
But also, make it a pass it on, so each person has ten minutes to cook, so 2 tins each, and all of them have to make it to the final dish.
Any james video deserves an automatic like
Always good when James is back!
Great to see James again.
A classic episode of Sorted was that! Always great to have an appearance from James!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
I wish James would come back full time
The way I gasped when I saw James because I clearly hadn't looked at the thumbnail😂
I love tin can roullette, it really pushes everyone, normal or chef. and I love Sorted Advent Season! Thank you for another entertaining holiday time :)
Love the format! Really loving all the community input! James needs to be on a pass it on again! Happy holidays guys,! Adven videos are awesome
I would love for you guys to go deep into christmas traditions in different countries. I know Costa Rica (my hometown) loves tamales and specific desserts this time of the year!
Careful what you wish for, they have done some of traditional christmas dishes and the sorry excuse for "Finnish traditional christmas meal" had every commenting Finn rolling on floor laughing at it. :p One of those "technically correct" but so made so weird no one had seen such a way to do it...
As Mike said the chefs had 5 minutes remaining there was 5 minutes left of the video, no idea if that was intentional from the editor but if so, *chefs kiss*
Great video guys, and always such a pleasure to see James! 🙂😛❤
Wish we could’ve seen the rest of the teams reactions to the cooked food, but I’m glad James got a win. Was nice to see him back! Job well done to both.
I love the tin can roulette because it challenges the chefs as well and it's fun to watch. I especially liked that you had tins you were not familiar with. Excellent video!
Welcome back James!!! Also we need an update on Ebbers. Did his confidence of those shrooms betray him?
SUOMI MAINITTU, TORILLA TAVATAAN, PERKELE!
What do you think of the dishes that James and Ben made ? Are they somehow "finnish" ?
@@swissfoodie3542 Not in the slightest Finnish but very fun ideas there. I'm not a fan of the tinned pea soup for example but what Ebbers did with it probably improved it a fair whack.
@swissfoodie3542 The dishes were very interesting. I certainly wouldn't have done anything like their dishes myself, main reason being that I see a few of the ingredients as full-on dishes by themselves (or at least some form of them) and I'm not chef-ish in the slightest.
@@swissfoodie3542 I'd never put milk nor cheese in the pea soup. It sounds very, very wrong. My first idea would have been a creamy mushroom sauce with reindeer and some potatoes. I have no clue on what to do with pea soup or kalakukko except just serve them as pea soup and kalakukko :D.
@@swissfoodie3542 Different, but I wouldn't be surprised to see any of those on a restaurant menu! The most Finnish thing was how the actually quite nice and lovely dish of Ben's looked like a bunch of beige in a deep dish. 😸 That's very very Finnish, an assortment of beige looking things in a deep dish that turn out being delicious.
Jaimie choosing the fish dish while there is a meat dish next to it is mind boggling and shows how good that must be.
